A member asked:
Can the weakness of regular hypokalemia come in go in periods? or is that only the genetic irregularity of periodic hypokalemia paralysis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hypokalemia: No not only periodic hypokalemic paralysis. Common in Conn's Syndrome. Please discuss with your team. I am happy to help them find out as I am an expert in this cause of low potassium.
